Hmmm... so much for trying to get the SF included in 1.12 working with FC 1.12a. I patched to 1.12a the replaced the SF files (protect.exe and protect.dll) with those from the 1.12 patch. Whilst SF now actually worked, Lomac.exe sorta "terminated unexpectedly"! :(

There was a new version of protect.dll released with 1.12a. I think it would be safe to assume that that is where the problem is. I can't get my hands on 1.12 at the moment so maybe someone else can check to see what happens if you apply the 1.12a patch but keep the protect.dll file from 1.12. I've already tried it with the 1.1 versions of SF on 1.12a but needless to say it was futile. Had I access to 1.12 I would'a tried it already (should hopefully have it later today but will only get to test tonight.) Chances are slim but there's no harm in trying!

I too am experiencing this problem and it is extremely enfuriating!!! :icon_evil After having booted the original Lomac out of complete dissapointment years ago, I've heard more than enough good things about FC to give it a bash again. I quite literally received FC yesterday, installed and promptly patched to 1.12a.... fired it up and... kablooey! :mad: I spent the day uninstalling/re-installing/tweaking/whatever and eventually discovered that native FC runs but 1.12a doesn't. With ARM505's assistance, happened upon this thread... Thanx ARM! ;) Someone PLEASE sort this out ASAP! I'm dying to see FC in its full glory... pretty please! :( @ Fudd: My CPU is an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 3800+
